NATHALIE’S POV

-

This time, Sir Calix made sure I was inside his office. He left me again for a few hours and now just came back.

“Why were you with Harrison earlier?” he asked, sitting in the other seat.

“Uh, he saw me outside–in the lobby.”

“Lobby? Why are you in the lobby?”

“Uh… I forgot the direction you gave me. Then the guard made me leave.”

He manfully raised one eyebrow. I gulp. That was so hot of him.

“Didn’t you say I was with you?”

“I couldn’t explain.”

“Was the guard who let you out assigned to this floor?”

I nodded slowly, unsure whether someone assigned that guard here or he was just passing by.

Sir Calix took his phone from his pocket and made a call. “Check the footage on this floor. Fired the guard who dragged the woman with me.”

My eyes widened at his order. Is it that easy for him to fired someone?

“Wait–” I grabbed his attention. “It’s not the guard’s fault. It’s my fault–actually, it’s your fault too.”

I closed my eyes for a second at the last thing I said.

  • MY EX-HUSBAND BETRAYED ME, BILLIONAIRE SAVED ME   CHAPTER 00187

    NATHALIE’S POV-“Why did it turn out that way?” I couldn’t hide my worry. “What happened?”“Nathalie, you hurt the father and daughter with your sudden leaving. What made you think they’d get over it so quickly? Even if Brianna gets close to everyone around her, the love you gave her is different; nothing can compare. Calix, especially, didn’t have time to process you just up and leaving. They love you, that’s why they were so deeply hurt.”It wasn’t sarcastic, nor was it in a tone blamed me, she was simply stating the obvious reason.“I am not blaming you.” She assured me.“But it really is all my fault.”She didn’t deny it and sighed. “When you pick up your scrub suit, would you mind bringing him some food? He hasn’t been eating properly and mostly just has alcohol in his system. He’s asking for alcohol again right now. Maybe if you gave him food, he’d eat something, even if it’s just a little. Please, just try.”“I’ll try.” I agreed.“Okay, you stay here. I’ll go get some food for

Currently, we are en route to the mansion.Brianna and I were both in the backseat, she was wrapped in a jacket and sitting on my lap while I hugged her.Inadvertently, my gaze drifted to the rearview mirror, where I unexpectedly found Sir Calix’s eyes meeting mine through the reflection.I avoided his gaze, turning my attention to Brianna and making a show of checking on her, even though she was soundly sleeping.....Upon arriving at the mansion, it was already afternoon, and time for Brianna to take her medicine.When Sir Calix stopped the car at the main door, I gently woke Brianna by softly calling out to her.“Brianna, baby. Brianna, we’re back at the mansion.”After waking her up several times, she finally opened her eyes.I stroked her forehead and neck. “Your body temperature has decreased. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you’ll be better as long as you take

    NATHALIE’S POV-I’ve been sitting quietly for hours, watching Brianna.I can’t even bring myself to shut my eyes, not for a single moment, until she wakes up, until I’m certain she’s alright, and most importantly, until her fever subsides.On the other side, Sir Calix is ​​sitting on the sofa a little far from the hospital bed, focused on the laptop he sent William a while ago.“Nathalie,” he called me casually.I shifted my gaze to him. “It’s already 3 AM. You need to sleep.”I shook my head. “I can’t sleep either, sir.”He nodded, closed the laptop and stood up. “I’ll buy you some food.”Before I could refuse, he left and exited the private room.I just sighed as I thought about our situation.I want to get out from under his thumb again, but I can’t just leave Brianna behind again.I glanced back at Brianna, and the second I looked at her, my eyes rounded in delight as her pair of brown eyes opened.“Baby...” I whispered.She blinked and her vision became clear. She stared at me f

    CALIX’S POV-Veronica peered out of the expansive windows in the corner. I approached her, my face devoid of expression.“Were you the one who called the social workers?” I asked as soon as I got close to her.With a smirk, she turned to me. “Yup, I was the one who called and sent them to your mansion. I told you I would take my niece, come what may.”“Have you any idea what your actions have done to my child?”“Your child?” she laughed mockingly. “She’s not your daughter, Calix. You know that from the very beginning. You’re just under the illusion that Brianna is your daughter. What I can’t understand is why you married Venice in the first place? If you wanted to marry a woman who was already pregnant, you should have gotten me pregnant and married me instead.”Her words make me more disgusted with her.“What do you want in exchange for leaving Brianna and me alone?”“I have been saying what I want for a long time and I will repeat it until I get what I want. Marry me, give me the r

    NATHALIE’S POV-Madame Beatrice looked at me, and it was only then that the meaning of her words seemed to dawn on her.“Don’t misunderstand what I said. By the way, I’m happy you’re here. Esther told me you left my son’s mansion. Was there a problem?”“I just had something needed attending to,” I offered as a reason.“But are you coming back?”“Yes, Madame.”She suddenly hugged me.Donna, who had been standing quietly, formed an ‘o’ with her mouth and eyes in surprise.“I’m glad to hear that, “she said, breaking away from the hug. “And I’m sure Brianna will be happier if she finds out you’re back. Wait, do you know anything about Veronica saying she’s going to get my granddaughter?”“I don’t know anything about it,” I denied. “Sir Calix would never allow that.” I added, trying to reassure her.“You’re right. If we’re going by rights, my son has more of a claim to Brianna. He’s the father, and Veronica is only her aunt.”My only response was a smile. She seems to know nothing about t

    NATHALIE’S POV-I quickly wiped away my tears and continued what I was doing.I woke Mommy up to tell her I was going back to the mansion temporarily, explaining that Brianna needed me. The moment she heard Sir Calix was in the living room, she immediately got up and went to him.The moment Mom saw Sir Calix’s disheveled and distressed state, she immediately took over, fussing over him with concern and trying to make him comfortable.

I’ll buy my own suitcase when I have some free time.After I got my things organized, I left the room with the suitcase and bag.I came upon Mom as she examined the cardigan that I suspected she had lent to Sir Calix.“There, it suits you very well and fits you perfectly.” Mom praised him. “Good thing I hadn’t thrown that out, otherwise you wouldn’t have anything to change into right now.:“Thank you, Mrs. Marg
